Fernhill Practice began in 2019 in a rented room behind a bookshop, with six mats, a kettle and a handful of students. The teacher, Noor Calder, came to movement late and slowly, which is why every class here is taught at an easy pace with choices for everyone in the room. Today Fernhill is one teacher, a small timetable and the same quiet room, kept simple on purpose.
What every class is built around
Choices in every movement
Nothing is shown as the right way. Each shape comes with a bigger, a smaller and a different option, and every one counts as a full version.
Small rooms, known names
Classes stay small enough for the teacher to learn your name and see how you are doing, without pointing it out to the room.
Rest is part of the class
Every session ends with a few quiet minutes, and you are welcome to rest at any point in the middle.
Training and background
The training and certificates behind every class.
